Village approves salt and wastewater-chemical purchases for operations
Summary
The board approved a purchase order for up to 650 tons of rock salt with Compass Minerals (not to exceed $46,014), a sodium hypochlorite (bleach) purchase order with Univar (not to exceed $60,000), and a polymer purchase with Polydyne (not to exceed $50,000) for wastewater treatment operations.
The board approved several operational procurement items July 29 to support winter maintenance and wastewater treatment. Public works staff said the village joined the DuPage County joint purchase for salt and will buy up to 650 tons under the county contract (the village obligation is typically between 80% and 130% of allocation; staff allocated 500 tons so the minimum purchase is 400 tons), with a not-to-exceed figure of $46,014.
On wastewater chemicals, staff recommended waiving competitive bidding to purchase sodium hypochlorite through Univar (industrial-strength bleach used to disinfect effluent); staff said they lease a 10,000-gallon tank and anticipate about $60,000 in annual usage. The board also approved a purchase order for polymer distributed by Polydyne Inc. (product Clari Flox C6296) at about $1.70 per pound with an anticipated annual spend of $50,000.
